Has anyone flushed out their A/C system using Lacquer thinner? I'm told by the experts to use Lacquer thinner and not these A/C flushes available on the market because they do not evaporate totally. Also to take the parts off the car as to not damage paint due to the effects of lacquer thinner. For any one who has done this, I would like to here your results.

We did it in the old days.
I use an a/c flush only. It will evaporate with shop air from a compressor.
Fill up evap and condenser with flush and leave it sit for a while.
Take lines off and flush and blow with air.
Do not get flush in compressor and get a new drier.
